Only thirteen blocks across this town to get to where you are
Emily's home late again, he sees that boy drive away
No amount of freedom gets you clean, I still got you all over me
Snap buttons on a denim shirt, blue jeans and a little dirt
I want you back but it's coming down to nothing, and all you have is to walk away from the one thing I thought would never leave me
She felt so out of touch, because she just felt too much
Talking 'bout your daddy's farm, and you were gonna marry me
My world's a little colder now, but I'm keeping warm somehow
He was lying when he said he moved to L.A, he's just hiding out on the other side of town
Because I’m not scared of what love gave me and took away, and I don't want to lose your face
Well, I'd rather you be mean than love and lie, I'd rather hear the truth, than have to say goodbye
So I cross my heart and hope for you, knock on wood and rope the moon
American boy, living in the real world trying just to get the girl
I guess what you wrote on paper wasn't written on your heart
So walk with me as the sweet wind dance, I'll write a song for you and me on the smokey black nights
Honey baby don't do anything crazy around us, say that everything will be fine
And I used to be on your side, now it's looking like we're going to battle
laying in the green grass, I was watching clouds pass baby, you were watching me
I want you back but it's coming down to nothing, and all you have is to walk away from the one thing I thought would never leave me
and every time I look at you I can hardly say a thing, my head starts to spin, and it hits me then, I love you
